Five Days. One Decision
To design what comes next...
A small-group residential retreat for accomplished women who are ready — not to figure out if they want change, but to architect exactly what that change looks like.
I came to the retreat expecting a framework. What I did not expect was to discover that my instinct had been right all along — I had just not given it permission. I left with a 90-day plan and, more importantly, the clarity to trust it.

Five Deliberately Designed Days
Day 01
Your First Act
A compassionate retrospective on the roles, choices, and milestones that brought you here to understand the raw material you’re working with.
Day 02
The Inner Shift
Turning inward to understand what has genuinely changed, your values, energisers, and the version of yourself quietly forming beneath the role you’ve been playing.
Day 03
Design Your Act
Using the Design Your Life methodology from Stanford, reframe limiting beliefs and prototype what your second act could look like. Multiple options. No pressure to commit yet.
Day 04
Clarity & Direction
Crystallising priorities, testing prototypes against the reality of your life, and identifying the first decisions you will need to make.
Day 05
Designing What Comes Next
Integration. You build your 90-day actionable roadmap, grounded, realistic, yours. You leave with a plan you can live.

Questions We Hear Most
Explore our past retreats below. Upcoming retreats have their own dedicated page where you can discover what’s ahead.
Is this retreat for someone at my career stage?
Yes. Our retreats are designed for senior corporate leaders, career-break returners, founders at crossroads, and women ready for what’s next. The common denominator is readiness.
Can I attend if I haven’t made any decisions yet?
Absolutely. In fact, this retreat is most valuable before you make big decisions. We create the space to think clearly so you can decide from alignment, not pressure.
Why is full attendance required?
Each day builds on the last, and the group experience is cumulative. Full presence ensures you get the depth, continuity, and breakthroughs the program is designed for.
What happens after the retreat?
You become part of the SecondAct alumni community — with access to quarterly virtual gatherings, peer circles, and priority access to 1:1 coaching and advanced programs.
Are there payment options?
Yes, we offer flexible part-payment arrangements. While we do not offer discounts, we believe financial structure should never be the reason vision gets postponed.
